Another quick 5mins brushless shave with just 1 brief application of the soap followed by a face rub produces enough lather & slickness for 2passes at setting 9 & 7. Smoother & sharper with the new feather but in the hurry caused some micro weepers. Dfs/Ccs result and nice aftershaves...

Great balance and all day endurance on this edp without reaching too far out in strength. 
I didn’t overpower any spaces I entered into throughout the day but I knew it was there the whole time.

Razor Dorko Solingen 43
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Lemon Chill + Reuzel Wood & Spice
Absolutely wonderful lather from this soap! Richly creamy and very slick with a nice light scent...
An enjoyable shave with this excellent razor. The edge feels wonderfully smooth after stropping on the Kanayama for the 1st time. Managed the usual dfs-ccs result after 3passes with 2 weepers stopped easily with alum. The aftershaves were very nice too.
